Inflicting heavy damage is not a bad idea as part of an overall plan to kill terrorists. It is the latter, killing as many as it takes, that has been found to work effectively if practiced strenuously enough and carried to conclusion.

I’m naturalized US citizen of Jewish decent. I vote democratic from the first election I was participating (which was Clinton second term).

I do agree that criticizing Israel is not equivalent to anti-Semitism and do it myself. Regarding latest war in Gaza criticizing Israel without questions is equivalent to anti-Semitism.

Glenn and your misguided supporters: it is indeed wearying to listen to the same drivel from you always attacking Israelis for defending themselves against what Glenn admits is "exactly the same "logic" that fuels the rockets from Hezbollah and Hamas into Israel." What would you have the Israelis do? Lie down and die? NEVER AGAIN! I'm afraid that your answer will be so awful that I'm almost hesitant to post. But I realize that my comment here will really make no difference to the Israel haters. This is an old and tragic story, and people never seem to learn. Woe is us. All of us, impoverished humanity.
